We could probably argue about this until the cows come home, because there are so many intricacies and of course everyone has a different opinion. The biochemical matter turned out to be bacteria, but was not dangerous. And just like there can be extremists in any country or culture, they exist in Australia too.

We aren't going to solve anything here by arguing about it though, I think in answer to the original question, I don't think I'd like a work of fiction based on the Corby story, because it's a little too close to my heart.

Just my $0.02, I'm bowing out of the conversation now
